During Lent Christians prepare to celebrate God's redemption of the world in Jesus at Easter.

Live Lent: Care for God's Creation will help broaden your view of Christ's redeeming mission - a mission Christians are called to share.

With weekly themes and prayers shaped around the first Genesis account of creation, it explores the urgent need for humans to value and protect the abundance God has created.

For each day of Lent it offers a Bible reading, a short reflection and an action to help you live in greater harmony with God, neighbour and nature.

Saying Yes To Life (The Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book 2020)

9780281083770 - Ruth Valerio - SPCK - £9.99

Saying Yes to Life lifts our focus from natural, everyday concerns to issues that are having an impact on millions of lives around the world. As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what he has created: to share in God’s joy and ingenuity in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively draws on the Days of Creation (Genesis 1) as she relates themes of light, water, land, the seasons, other creatures, humankind, Sabbath rest and resurrection hope to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern.

Radical Reconciler

9781783599448 - Chris Wright & John Stott - IVP - £7.99

Focus on the amazing story of Jesus' crucifixion and the gospel in days and weeks leading up to Easter and think yet again how the cross transforms our lives today. With Bible verses, prayers and 40 meditations by Chris Wright and treasured, timeless nuggets from John Stott, prepare to be inspired as you contemplate the deep, life-transforming truths of the gospel

This Lent, Michael Baughen reminds us that ‘we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ’ (2 Cor. 1:5). Can we really identify with His sufferings? Most of us live lives of plenty, comfort and choice, so what does this really mean? Over six studies, we will consider how, as followers of Christ, we can: • share in the sufferings of Christ • be a Church marked by love and holiness • share the hope of the gospel • shine the light of Christ’s glory • use suffering as a personal testimony • give our lives as a living sacrifice to Christ

Together in one special volume, selections from the best of beloved, bestselling author C. S. Lewis’s classic works for readers contemplating the ‘grand miracle’ of Jesus’s resurrection.

Preparing for Easter is a concise, handy companion for the faithful of all Christian traditions and the curious to help them deepen their knowledge and consideration of this holy season – a time of reflection as we consider Jesus’s sacrifice and his joyous rise from the dead.

I Thirst

9781529360929 - Stephen Cottrell - Hodder & Stoughton - £9.99

Stephen Cottrell follows the passion story in John’s Gospel, penetrating the deep mystery of a God who loves humanity no matter the cost. Each layer of meaning in the simple cry ‘I thirst’ is an invitation to consider our own lives and think again about what it means to be a follower of Christ in the modern world.

At this time of Lent, David Walker explores different aspects of human belonging through the medium of scripture and story in order to help us recognise the different ways in which we are God's beloved. And as we recognise ourselves and our own lives in the narrative of God's engagement with humanity and his creation, he gently challenges us to engage for God's sake with God's world.

The Wind, The Foundation & The Fire

9781472968371 - Mark Barrett - Bloomsbury - £10.99

The 2020 Lent Book from Bloomsbury is based around an analysis of the imagery of the Psalms.

The Book of Psalms has always formed the substance of the daily prayer of Christian monks and nuns. In The Wind, The Fountain and the Fire, a Benedictine monk offers a path for all of us through the five weeks of Lent, by opening the Psalms as a gateway to scriptural prayer.
